A GRAND NEW ^ ^ 

 ^^ EVER-BLOOMING ROSE ^ ji 



Climbing Meteor 



i^\ 



'fi'^'^f'^^^^ Aside from Climbing Wootton^ we have no red climbing 

 Rose of any class to compare with this superb new va 

 riety. It has been called the ^^Perpetual-blooming Jac- ■ 

 queminof'' because of its freedom of bloom and its exquisitely 

 shaped buds and flowers which resemble that famous variety. 

 Climbing Meteor is a sport from Meteor, a free-blooming Hybrid 

 Tea Rose famous for its magnificent flowers. It has the true 

 climbing habit, attaining the height of lo to 15 feet in a 



single season. It is a free, persistent bloomer, producing in 

 great profusion, throughout the growing season, mag- 

 nificently formed buds and flowers which in color are 

 dark velvety crimson, the equal of any Rose in cul- 

 tivation, and, if anything, more glowing 

 than its illustrious parent. It is hardy 

 with protection, and wherever grown 

 will give absolute satisfaction. We re- 

 gard Climbing Meteor as a great new 

 Rose, and every one should plant at 

 least two. We make the price low for 

 strong plants. 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 4 for 50 cts ; 9 

 for $1 ; two-year-old plants, 30 cts. each ; 4 for $1, by Ex- 

 press only. 



i« ^ NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE ^ ^ 



Ever=blooming Prairie Queen 



t^' 



Introduced and for Sale only by The Dmgee 6^ Ccnard Co. 

 Among hardy climbing Roses, that good old variety, 

 Prairie Queen, has long been considered the best of its color. 

 In this new Rose we believe we have a variety that is better. 

 It blooms profusely the first year ; small pot plants even pro- 

 duce numerous clusters of flowers, while a two-year-old plant 

 will bear more flowers than a five-year-old plant of the older 

 variety. Again this variety is a true perpetual bloomer, and 

 while Prairie Queen produces but one crop of flowers in a year, 

 Ever-blooming Prairie Queen blooms continuously throughout 

 the entire season. At this writing, November 12, plants out-^^'^^^ 

 doors are still producing their beautiful flowers in large clus- 

 ters. The flowers are very fragrant, and in color dark carmine 

 rose ; large, very double and borne in clusters. It is perfectly' 

 hardy, having with us withstood 10° below zero unprotected 

 and in an exposed situation. Difficult to propagate, but* 

 once established is a good grower. One-year-old plants, 75 

 cts. each ; 2 for $1.25 ; two-year-old plants, $1.25 each, by 

 Express.
